Material Safety Data Sheet Section 1 General Information Manufacturer: HMIS Rating Zinsser Company, Inc. HEALTH: 1 173 Belmont Drive FLAMMABILITY: 0 Somerset, NJ 08875 REACTIVITY: 0 (732) 469-8100 Emergency Telephone: Chemtrec (800) 424-9300 Date: July 18, 2002 Product Name: Perma White Semi Gloss Product Codes: 2750, 2761, 2754 Section 2 Hazardous Ingredients OSHA ACGIH Hazardous Component CAS# PEL TLV Titanium dioxide 13463-67-7 15 Mg/m 3 * 10 Mg/m 3 Limestone 1317-65-3 15 mg/m 3 * (5 mg/m 3 **) 10 Mg/m 3* Ethylene glycol 107-21-1 N/E 100 Mg/m 3 (C) Mica 12001-26-2 20 mppcf 3 Mg/m 3** Zinc Oxide 1314-13-2 15 mg/m 3 * (5 mg/m 3 **) 10 Mg/m 3* * Total Dust ** Respirable Dust Fraction Section 3 Hazard Identification Product Overview: This material is a wall paint. It is a stable, non-flammable, white flowable liquid with a flashpoint above 200 Fahrenheit. Primary Routes of Exposure: Eye Contact Skin Contact Inhalation Potential Acute Health Effects: Eye: May cause eye irritation. Skin: Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation. Absorption through skin contact is not considered a significant route of exposure. Page 1 of 6 pages.
Ingestion: Although ingestion not considered a significant route of exposure, Gastrointestinal irritation and nausea may occur if swallowed. Inhalation: Although inhalation is not considered a significant route of exposure, high vapor concentrations may cause respiratory irritation. Potential Chronic Health Effects: (See also Sections 4, 8, and 11 for related information) Section 4 First Aid Measures Eye contact: Flush eye with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Skin contact: Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician or poison control center. Inhalation: No specific treatment is necessary since this material is not likely to be hazardous by inhalation. If exposed to excessive levels of vapor, remove victim to fresh air and seek medical attention if cough or other symptoms develop. Note to Physician: This material is basically non-toxic. A small quantity (approx. one tablespoon) is unlikely to cause harm. Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures The liquid material will not burn. However, the dried paint film may burn in a fire. Flash Point (method): Extinguishing Media: involving this material. Not Determined (expected to be above 200 F). Use water spray, foam, or carbon dioxide when fighting fires Protection of Firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure demand mode and full protective gear. Section 6 Accidental Release Measures Clean Up Methods: Keep unnecessary people away. Dike and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.). Transfer liquid to containers for recovery or disposal, or absorb with absorbent materials and place into containers for disposal. Keep spill out of sewer and open bodies of water. Floors may be slippery; care should be exercised to avoid falls during clean up operations. Page 2 of 6 pages.
(See also Section 8 for information on Exposure Controls and Personal Protective Equipment) Section 7 Handling and Storage Handling: Storage: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep from freezing. Keep container closed when not in use. Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Engineering Controls: If exposure conditions warrant, use mechanical local exhaust ventilation or general dilution ventilation to reduce vapor concentrations. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Eye Protection: Skin Protection: Wear safety glasses or face shield to prevent eye and face contact. Wear gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. Respiratory Protection: None required under normal, intended use conditions. If vapor exposure causes discomfort and in areas of poor ventilation wear NIOSH approved respirator. Protective Clothing: For brief contact, no special precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. When prolonged or frequent repeated contact with the material could occur, use protective clothing that is impervious to this material (such as Tyvek ). General Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling. Prevent Eye contact. Avoid prolonged skin or inhalation contact. Section 9 Appearance: Odor: Physical State: Physical Data White emulsion. Slight ammonia like odor. Liquid. ph: 9.5 Boiling Point: N/D (est. >200 F) Freezing Point: N/D (est. 32 F) Solubility in Water: Dilutable in water. Specific Gravity: 1.3 (water = 1).
